Atlantic Express is the perfect place for a Breakfast Lunch in Sea Point, the restaurant is inside an old train so it feels like you onboard a vintage luxury train.

The service is excellent and food is awesome. I’ve tried the Breakfast with Steak and most recently I tried the Chicken Burger, the burger was quite tasty and filling.

We tried the pancakes for dessert and I chose the Banana Pancake with Ice Cream.

I haven't been here in ages hence the 3.5/5 because it used to my dad and I favourite restaurant! Being an attorney who works across the road this is an easy spot for us to meet and have a quick bite such as a sandwhich... always had a pleasant train ride to nowhere in the blue train restaurant :)

After an early morning climb up Lions Head we decided to treat ourselves to a well deserved breakfast. After much deliberation during the hike, it was agreed that we would fill up at the Atlantic Express in Sea Point.

You eat inside an old train, this can be quite exciting for kids and adults who have the privilege of avoiding the services of Prasa on their daily commutes. For my uncle I it was a bit of a reminder of what awaited us the next day - full platforms and delays. In terms of the service Capetonians expect from trains, the bar is set very low, in fact the bar actually rests on floor. MetroPlus please.

The setting inside is quite intimate but not in a romantic way, in a 'the people in the booth opposite you are forced to look directly at you' kinda way. There was a lady with a squint opposite us that made my uncle so uncomfortable that we had to switch tables. She tried her best but could not remove her gaze from him completely.

The food was flavourful I will give them that, I had the steak sandwich. For a restaurant with the word "express" in the title the sandwiches and other orders were delayed by 10-15 minutes. The sandwich itself had slices of steak (as opposed to being shredded) and cut up into triangles. The chips reminded me of Oscar Pistorius as they were a bit shorter in length than usual chips, like they were missing a fibula. The coffee was okay and my cousins cheeseburger had a very small slice of cheese on it.

All that being said the food did have a nice flavour to it, which is not a common trend nowadays. Its also a bit fun to sit down and eat good food inside a train when one is so used to just standing inside a delayed, (sometimes) moving train like a box of straws during the week.

Would definitely recommend to give it try, you can decide to buy a one way or a return ticket... Its up to you!
